Max Gulhane MD: "The concept of redox. Can you talk a little bit about that […]"
Carrie Bennett: "Sure, yeah. So redox is actually known in the conventional medical literature. The 're' stands for reduction and the 'ox' stands for oxidation. That's describing the reactions that are taking place inside of our bodies. Reduction basically means something is gaining electrons, and oxidation means something is losing electrons. […]
"Well, we don't want too much oxidation. Right? I think everyone's heard that word oxidative stress, or oxidation, and that actually can drive inflammatory cascades. […]
"However what I think mainstream (and actually probably functional) medicine gets wrong about this is that the assumption is well in order to maintain an appropriate amount of redox reactions, we need to supplement antioxidants. Because that's what antioxidants are: they can anti oxidize things, because they've got electrons to donate.
"And that is true to an extent. But what's been overlooked is the fact that the water, in it of itself, because it has a negative charge, has the potential to be its own redox pile, if you will. That's how Mae-Wan Ho described it so beautifully. She called it a redox pile, so that it can donate as needed. And we have to make sure we have adequate amounts of charge in it for that to be maintained.
"So that's why things like earthing are also beneficial, because earthing brings those electrons into our body via the surface of the earth through our skin. And that actually goes into the exclusion zone to maintain a healthy charge of that exclusion zone, so that it can maintain its redox status.
"So I just view redox as: do you have adequate charge to calm the oxidation? And that happens through the understanding of water and electrons." —Carrie Bennett with maxgulhanemd (npub19yj…unad) @ 25:13–27:43 https://youtu.be/YC9-p5KAQDY&t=1513
